If you’ve ever craved smoky, fall-off-the-bone barbecue, I’ve got to tell you—Austin, Texas is where you need to be. Since I live in Austin, I get to enjoy BBQ quite a lot! You’ll find that each BBQ joint has its own personality. Some make you wait in line for hours (and yes, I’ve done it), while others feel like hidden gems only locals whisper about. I always say, if you’re in Austin and not eating brisket, you’re doing it wrong. So grab your appetite and maybe a few napkins—you’re about to dig into some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had, and I think you’ll agree it’s worth every bite.
